lirik lagu peter hammill - gone ahead
we bite off our tongues
while chewing the fat;
though the fire in our lungs is celestial
our delivery falls flat.
would a time come to be silent?
oh, we never spoke of that.
we talked out of turn
in the school of hard knocks;
although willing to learn from experience
it still comes as a shock
when the time comes to be silent…
one by one the jaws all drop.
the voice is still clear in my head;
it’s the last word in monologue…
close-up, interior, night.
mmm…
the voices alive in my head
are all tongue-tied to silence now.
it’s the darkest of moods,
it’s the cruellest of jokes
that this facility i used, once so fluent,
is cut out at a stroke.
and the time came to be silent
as the core connection broke…
absurd ineloquence,
my own words on which i choke.
swallowing deep on the thread,
so much i’m losing now,
so many things left unsaid
and the voice i’ve been using is
gone ahead.
